Who are the favourites to become next Arsenal boss?

Massimiliano Allegri

The former AC Milan manager replaced Antonio Conte as Juventus boss in 2014 and has enjoyed a fine spell in Turin.

Since moving to the Old Lady, he has led them to two titles, two Supercoppa Italiana successes and a Champions League final.

After a 19-year playing career as a midfielder, Allegri took charge of his last club Aglianese in 2004. Following an impressive season with the Serie C2 outfit, he moved up a division when Grosseto offered him the job there.

However, an unsuccessful spell followed and he was sacked at the beginning of the 2006/07 campaign.

After a brief spell working under Giovanni Galeone as part of his backroom team at Udinese, Allegri returned to the dug-out with Serie C1 side Sassuolo and he guided them to an historic first promotion to Serie B.

That success landed him the top job at Serie A club Cagliari, where he led them to a 9th and 12th place finish before he was surprisingly sacked in April 2010.

AC Milan then came calling in June that year, and he led them to the Serie A title in his first year in charge. Success continued the following season, winning the Supercoppa Italiana against rivals Inter.

He remained at the San Siro until 2014 until he was sacked by the Rossoneri, but Juve quickly came calling, leading to Allegri enhancing his reputation further in the years since.

Eddie Howe

The 39-year-old Bournemouth boss has won many admirers for his attacking brand of football, leading to many to believe he is the ideal man to replace Wenger at the Emirates.

After spending much of his playing career with the Cherries, he became the youngster manager in the EFL when they appointed him as manager in 2009.

Howe saved the club from relegation to the Conference in his first year and led them to promotion the next.

He then left the south coast for a brief spell to take charge of Burnley, but he was back within a year to lead Bournemouth to two promotions within three seasons – taking them into the Premier League for the first time in their history.

After keeping them up in his first season with a 16th place finish, they are bang on course to repeat that feat this season to secure a third-successive year in the top-flight.

Thomas Tuchel

Tuchel was tasked with an almost impossible job in replacing the legendary Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund in 2015, but he is thriving in the role.

The 43-year-old began his coaching career as coach of Stuttgart’s Under-19s before returning to his former club Augsburg as youth-team co-ordinator before being appointed as manager of the club’s B side in 2007.

After a two-year spell he was named new boss of Mainz following the club’s promotion to the Bundesliga. He led them to a fifth-placed finish and then seventh the following campaign to earn a spot in the Europa League.

He then surprisingly quit the club in May 2014 with a record of 72 wins, 46 draws and 64 losses.

It was 11 months later that he was confirmed as the man who would replace Klopp, and he would be defeated by his predecessor, now in charge at Liverpool, in the quarter-finals of the Europa League last season.

He also suffered a defeat on penalties to rivals Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal Final.

Dortmund are currently fourth in the Bundesliga, fifteen points behind leaders Bayern.

Who else is in the running to replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager?

Ralph Hasenhuttl

Hasenhuttl has burst onto the scene this season with high-flying German outfit RB Leipzig.

Following the club’s promotion to the top-flight last season, they made a blistering start to life in the top-flight and led the Bundesliga at the beginning of the season before being overtaken by Bayern Munich.

The former Austrian international has been linked with a number of jobs lately, but his focus on introducing young players into the side will certainly appeal to the Gunners hierarchy.

Earleir in his career, Hasenhuttl led VfR Aalen and FC Ingolstadt 04 to promotion.

Ronald Koeman

Koeman is the man who replaced Martinez at Goodison Park and comes with a huge pedigree.

The Dutchman was a legend in his playing days, starring for Barcelona and Holland on numerous big occasions.

The 53-year-old has a wealth of management experience with European giants such as Ajax, Benfica, Valencia and Feyenoord, and got his Southampton side performing well in the Premier League during his two-years on the south coast from 2014.

Despite only being at Everton for a few months, he has already been linked with becoming Barcelona’s next manager, and he could be a dark horse to take over from Wenger.
